Plastic Container
Notification No. 295/2548 (2005)
Prohibition for use plastic food containers
1. Prohibited to use coloured plastic containers to contain food except
(1) Laminate plastic specifically the layer that does not directly with food.

Plastic Wastes in Thailand
- More plastic was produced over the last
10 years about 2 million ton per year
with more than half are food packaging.
- There is an emphasis throughout
Thailand on increasing the uses of
recycled plastic including Food
Packaging.
There are several reasons that Thai FDA concerned with the use of recycled
plastic materials in food packaging including:
1) contaminants from the post consumer material may appear in the final
food packaging which made from the recycled material.
2) recycled post-consumer material not regulated for food packaging use
may be incorporated into food packaging supply chain, and
3) some adjuvants in the recycled plastic may not suitable for food
packaging use.

Recycled plastic materials
Recycling process
• Developing standard for Food
packaging made from recycled
plastic
• Safe, Do not migrate toxic
substances in amount that may
have effects to health
• Labeling of packaging
• Quality assurance system
or Good Manufacturing
Practice
• Standard for recycled plastic
pellets
Supported Measures • standard for recycled plastic
pellets
• Recycling manufacturer control (the
efficient of the recycling process and
safety evaluation of recycled
plastic)
• Waste sorting management

To support the Thailand’s Roadmap on Plastic Waste Management,
Thai FDA preparing a revision of Notification of Ministry of Public
Health with the cooperation of private and academic sectors;
- to allow recycle plastic material use for food packaging.
- to begin with PET that meets the need from private sector.
- in order to address the safety concerns, FDA will considers each
proposed use of recycled plastic on a case-by-case basis and based
on scientific evidences.
